I could offer trading my Z432 with this car, I really love red color and non-restored car.This is super. And very original, very early. I was amaized by the emblems on the rear gate, they are still positioned correctly. So many Fairlady-Zs were restored incorrectly about badges. Owners wanted to have a better place of the badges for their own? I do not know. One thing I noticed about a wheel choke. You can see 9 I (ai , or one) on it, I imagined 1969 , September if I is ai, not one. We see this type of labeling for a radiator , oil cooler, heater box. My 03/70 240Z has 0 B on the wheel choke, I guess it means 1970 February. What do you think of it ? Kats I think stock location of emblems looks best. It's probably because nobody has any accurate measurements of where there're supposed to go. Usually when a car sells that fast it's underpriced. Usually... Why don't you offer to buy it from the new owner? With zero to negative interest rates there, these cars are a good place to keep ¥. Those wheel chocks look like they have never moved since new with that thick layer of dust. There looks to be no chipped paint on them also. Much better idea than that other trade you spoke of. If you need a place to store it, my garage is available and you can drive it year round here. Edited July 7, 2016 by hr369 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kats Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share #602 Posted July 15, 2016 ZG over fender, When I checked this car before buying, I checked a "sticker" on all of four over fenders. A true 240ZG has true over fenders, which has sticker FR, FL, RR, RL for each ones. Previous owner gave me spair over fenders, I confirmed stickers on them, and original un-touched gray color.

Kats I think back in the day a production car of 1970 could have used some 69 parts, even a 72 could have used 70 parts laying around in the factory. I see that evidence on many 240z's.. The small features on the cars change slowly over the years they where build, but some later models still used some early parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that evidence on many 240z's.. For example? Given the shortest possible time gap between any 1970 production-dated car and any 1972 production-dated car is just over 12 calendar months, what kind of scenario would you think made that possible? Somebody found a forgotten crate of parts behind the canteen door? My experience would be that there usually is some rhyme and reason to explain such perceived phenomena, and it is often the case that we - as civilians - are misunderstanding and misinterpreting what we see. I class it with the "left-over 240Z parts used on 260Zs" type comments... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kats Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share #608 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Thank you every one, I continue collect "date " of my car 's parts and other car's parts, We will find out some very interesting things. Here is my 240ZG inside mirror , 2 6.23 might mean 1972 June 23rd. collesponding the car's other parts date and making sense registered date "July 1972" .

kats Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share #609 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Replaced fuel tank hoses My 12/ 1971 Orange 240Z had a leak from the tank when I filled full of tank. I checked and looked from underneath of the tank, I assumed the U-shape big hose might have some crack. It was fun replacing old to new one, I did some clamps replacing as well. And you see 46 11 29 on the vapor tank, that is 1971 Nov 29th . Kats Edited July 29, 2016 by kats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Sigarto Posted July 29, 2016 Share #610 Posted July 29, 2016 Kats, Looks like you are getting everything back to normal, I have to do that with both the 240Z and the Fairlady. Some of the hoses are probably not available here. Usually my local Nissan Dealer is good at finding parts, Fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kats Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share #611 Posted July 29, 2016 Hi Fred, Yes I love originals, however it is difficult nowadays, I bought these hoses back in 2005 in LA . Kats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kats Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share #612 Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) Eagle Moss Fairlady-240Z model I bought this model , 1/8 scale Fairlady-240Z . I still leave it in boxes , no time to assemble. I am not so happy about it's quality, it could be much more enthusiastic, much more being precision model car. 1/8 scale is pretty big, I was expecting I could assemble pistons and crankshaft, transmission, and I could turn them by hand ! But nothing like that , it is just a big model.... On the other hand, I am so satisfied about the booklet series 1 to 100 , each booklet has wonderful articles about S30 , even sometimes other manufacturer's cars are featured. And also, the DVD "the development story of the S30 " is just a wonderful to watch. It was very expensive, I payed big money for the model car but, these booklet and the DVD make me feel highly rewarded. Kats PS , I enjoyed seeing and reading about Rally cars , the main stories are not new for me but I found many new things in the articles. What a great results the team made. They became legend, the footage became great history. I am very proud of myself , I have 240Z too ! Kats Edited August 2, 2016 by kats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
